of course there is enough gold and silver, paper gold and
silver, that is. Just take a look at prospectus for GLD or SLV,
they owe nobody anything, they are not even subject to any third
party audits. Mybe they are fully backed by billion maybe not.
Maybe I didn't understand the prospectus right.
They, however, are great instruments of market price control.
And then we have the future market -- a world full of
promises of future, and short of commitments of today. It sounds
like business as usual alright, am I missing the point?
I know bullion banks are active in future markets, shorting
metal not recorded anywhere, but that still is a promise of
delivery.
If what is circulating is true, and the actual demand
outstripping supply is really correct, it is a front runner ahead
of strong south asian demand season for gold. Again, if (BIG WORD)
that is the case, matt's COT data should point to a seasonal low
for commercial shorts, and we shall see a bounce.
On Friday, I called a dealer and asked for 5 one-ounce swiss
gold bars, he had no problem accomodating me, we negotiated the
price, and that was that. That was Friday, which seems like an
eternity ago.
BTW, I am also a CEF investor (not trader) because they are
subject to third party audit, and I could understand their
propectus
